The Tunisian Minister of Industry and Small and Medium Enterprises, Salim Al-Feriani, said in a brief press statement during the Tunisian-Libyan Economic Forum on Sunday in Tripoli that the trade exchange between Tunisia and Libya has declined from $ 2 billion to only $ 1 billion.
Al-Feriani expressed his hope that the scale of trade will reach $ 3 billion by 2020, adding that the trading volume between Tunisia and Libya is well below the two countries’ potential and very low to what it was in 2010.
The Tunisian-Libyan Economic Forum was organized by The General Union of Chambers of Agriculture, Trade, and Industry in Libya with the participation of a number of Libyan and Tunisian businessmen and economists in various fields.
